It appears to be moving in more of a southerly direction. Might be lucky and miss the heaviest falls.

Im jealous mate. Up in Sydney working game on the radio.

Well we have beaten essendon twice when we have been crap. So saying that we should win. However this is melbourne and we are never sure what to expect. Im just hoping that Daniher suddenly doesnt find his kicking boot like cloke did QB.

I like to see viney go to hepp and vince annoyt the hell out of BJ.

Come one melbourne hammer them.

That would just mean you're supporting your team, OD.

Garry Lyon thinking like all Melbourne supporters: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...gainst-crisishit-bombers-20150710-gi9cdy.html

My wife keeps telling I am insane

She just might be correct.

go dees beat these pin cushions

I know we (as a team) like the contested footy style but does the wet weather favour us or the Bombers?

bombers like to move the ball quickly but will the wet keep things tight and keep the bombers in the game? Will be interesting. If the bombers are on today I don't think it will be as clear cut as we hope

Im very very nervous

I'm walking through the CBD at the moment,it's the first time in a long time that I have seen more people in Demon colours than opposition colours.

The radar is looking pretty evil at the moment. It looks like it the main band of weather will get to the MCG around 1pm.

That should be good Josh. Just make sure the missus looks after the kid so you can drink booze and watch the footy without interruption. Ideally she'll also keep getting the drinks.

Even better? Mum is watching the kids so both on the sauce, someone will have to stay decent to look after them when we get home. It will be a race to indecency and I've had plenty of practice

I'm stuck in West Papua thanks to that shitty volcano in East Java.

Thankfully, Australia Plus is telecasting the game. I'll watch it the game on a 32" screen all in low definition analogue.

What a shame the weather is going to potentially even the contest up. I'm looking for a big win.

Ok,I'm off to the MCG before the rain hits,will be back here post match to discuss our victory.Go Dees!

JKH the sub, so Harmes and VDB to start. Happy with that.

as predicted by moi

Excited to see Harms and VB in

Got a fair bit of grunt on the ground - I'm excited

Go Demons

Neil Craig gushing about Melbourne on 3AW, highly rates the job Viney is doing on recruitment, and the way our squad is finally coming together. Paul's influence and all the people he's brought in can't be denied, and "if you're a member of the Melbourne footy club, you can see a nice, steady improvement getting everything into place."

So to all those with pay TV what channel do I tell the staff at the RSL to put the TV on?

I can't remember a game day thread so pre-occupied by the weather. Is this an omen?

Geez I'm starting to get nervous now. Can't sit still. Reckon if I'd been an AFL player I'd be that guy who has a quiet spew on boundary during the warmup.

There's still an hour to go damnit!

Hulk for 5

Was the turning point the game against Geelong or was it two days before when Nate Jones walked into Roos office saying that the players take responsibility for the loss to StKilda. Finally some acknowledgement from the playing group that come gameday they are largely responsible for what happens on field. This doesn't mean we win every game as we found out against the Eagles two weeks later but it showed them what is capable when they come to play.
